Zionist March Attacked with Fire in Boulder, Colorado

Micah Forrester

Less that two weeks after the execution of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington DC, a Zionist march in Boulder, Colorado was attacked by an individual who, according to the old-state and monopoly media, was armed with Molotov Cocktails and a homemade flamethrower. Six Zionists were injured, including one with serious injuries, according to the same sources. The lone attacker was captured at the scene.

The Zionist march was organized on a weekly basis as part of the propaganda war of Zionism. The organization hosting the event, Run For Their Lives, claims to be a non-political “humanitarian” effort to bring awareness to the captives taken on October 7^th in occupied Palestine. Run For Their Lives is a project of a project; directly behind it is the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, another Zionist organization who boasts of struggling to bring the “hostages” home “by any means necessary,” in other words, war. This is further established in their third point of unity: “establishing international criminal accountability against Hamas and defining their actions as war crimes and crimes against humanity.” The Forum’s website passes no criticism nor makes any denunciation against the genocide and famine inflicted upon Palestinians, nor the numerous war crimes falling under the category of “any means” carried out by the fascist Zionist state in service to US imperialism.

Hostages and Missing Families Forum is committed to the denial of Palestine’s existence: their website denies that the captured are prisoners of war, claiming that “Hamas and other terrorist organizations are not considered military forces of a state.” Hamas is the legal ruling party of the Gaza Strip since 2006; however, their power does not reside in the elections but in the support of the Palestinian people and the armed struggle against occupation and national oppression which they suffer.

The Forum is funded by Zionists in the US to the tune of $40 million, and on top of this Israeli banks like Bank Hapoalim are a significant source of funding. Bank Hapoalim operates several illegal branches in the occupied West Bank and at least one illegal branch in the occupied Golan Heights. The bank also has deep ties to directly funding the illegal settlements through construction of massive housing projects made available to illegal Israeli settlers.

Combined Jewish Philanthropies, another financial backer of Run For Their Lives and its parent entity, is a Boston-based financial hub for Zionism, specifically ones in control of government lobbying, university initiatives, and media influence.

The above facts can only expose the claims of antisemitism—which were immediately rolled out by the monopoly media—as false. The accused attacker is said by the old-state to be from Egypt, and according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) he shouted “end Zionists,” “free Palestine,” and “they are killers” during and after the attack. No reports have been made available that the attacker mentioned Jews or Judaism. Without waiting for any evidence, the Trump Administration has already denounced the accused as an “illegal alien” as well as peddling the false narrative of “antisemitism.”
